Swiss Style at its best: Original Vintage Poster designed by Jörg Hamburger (1935 – 2014) for Finland Weeks 1961 in Zurich. The cleverly implemented typographic play with the various color blocks forming several F’s represents Finland’s transparency and modernity which were the themes of this Finnish Weeks. Still looks fresh today.
From 1950 to 1954, Hamburger attended the graphic design class at the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel, where the best of the best taught: Emil Ruder, Donald Brun, Armin Hofmann… He then found his own functional style in the packaging design department of the pharmaceutical company Geigy, before becoming Josef Müller-Brockmann’s assistant for two years from 1958, followed by his own long-standing teaching career at the Zurich School of Design.
